Hmmm, if one wire fed both sides, right on.  However a closer inspection of
the harness shows a wire harness/relay for each side.  15 A is a house
wiring limitation, wherein you might have 100' or more wire in the circuit.
10 feet of 14 ga. will easily pass 20 amps, or over 200W for the
flash-to-pass.  Again connectors, bulb sockets, etc. will have more effect
than wire.  Certainly wouldn't keep me up nights.
